mdioblock2(1)                                Qualcomm Atheros Open Powerline Toolkit                               mdioblock2(1)

NAME
       mdioblock2 - Qualcomm Atheros Clause 45 MDIO Instruction Block Assembler

SYNOPSIS
       mdioblock2 [options] file [file] [...]  [&gt;stdout]

       mdioblock2 [options] [&lt;stdin] [&gt;stdout]

DESCRIPTION
       Assemble  an  Atheros MDIO instruction block from hexadecimal register instructions.  MDIO instruction blocks are written
       to Atheros powerline devices as modules using the VS_MOD_OP message type.  Alternately, program int6kmod can be used.

       Atheros MDIO modules consists of a 16-bit header followed by one or more MDIO communication frames  with  register  masks
       and  padded  to  the nearest multiple of 32-bits for download purposes.  MDIO instructions are entered here using 802.3ae
       Clause 45 (or addr, data and mask) format.  See program mdioblock for a similar  program  that  accepts  instructions  in
       802.3 Clause 22 (or phy, reg, data and mask) format.

       This  program  is  part of the Qualcomm Atheros Powerline Toolkit.  See the AMP man page for an overview and installation
       instructions.

OPTIONS
       -q     Quiet mode.  Suppresses error messages caused by instruction syntax errors.

       -v     Verbose mode.  Prints instructions on stderr as they are processed.

       -?,--help
              Displays program help information on stderr.  This option takes precedence over all other options on  the  command
              line except version information.

       -!,--version
              Displays  program  version information on stderr.  This option takes precedence over all other options on the com‐
              mand line except help information.  Use this option when sending screen dumps to Atheros technical staff.

ARGUMENTS
       file   A text files contining one or more generic MDIO register intructions  consisting  of  a  address,  data  and  mask
              fields.   Fields  are separated by whitespace.  Instructions are terminated with semicolon.  Multiple instructions
              may appear on one line and one instruction may span multiple lines.  Script-style comments are  permitted  between
              instructions but not between instruction fields.

REFERENCES
       See the Qualcomm Atheros AR7x00 Firmware Technical Reference Manual section on the Module Operation message type for more
       information on MDIO Block format.

DISCLAIMER
       Atheros HomePlug AV Vendor Specific Management Message structure and content is proprietary to Qualcomm Atheros, Ocala FL
       USA.   Consequently,  public  information  may  not  be available.  Qualcomm Atheros reserves the right to modify message
       structure and content in future firmware releases without any obligation to notify or compensate users of this program.

EXAMPLES
       The following command reads register instructions from text file mdio.txt and writes binary file mdio.bin.  In this exam‐
       ple,  the  program  acts as a filter, reading from stdin and writing to stdout.  Progress and error messages, if any, are
       written to stderr.

          # mdioblock2 &lt; mdio.txt &gt; mdio.bin

       The following command reads register instructions from files physetup.dat then flowctl.dat then misc.ins and  writes  one
       binary MDIO block to file mdio.bin.  The previous contents of file mdio.bin are overwritten.

          # mdioblock2 physetup.dat flowctl.dat misc.ins &gt; mdio.bin

       An  example  register  instruction file might look like this.  Instructions have addr, data and mask fields.  Instruction
       fields are separated by whitespace and instructions are terminate by a semicolon.  Multiple instructions  can  appear  on
       one  line  or  one instruction can span multiple lines.  Script-style comments are permitted between instructions but not
       between instruction fields.
